Sacha Baron Cohen Signs Up for 'Borat 2'

NEW YORK (Feb. 8) - British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has signed a deal to make "Borat 2," a sequel to the hit film about an intrepid Kazakh journalist's road trip across America, News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said Thursday.
"He's signed up to do a sequel for us," Murdoch told reporters at a media conference sponsored by McGraw-Hill.
Cohen's mock documentary, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," has grossed $248 million at the box office worldwide and earned an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay.
Cohen also won a Golden Globe for his performance in the movie, distributed by News Corp.-owned film studio 20th Century Fox.
Based on a character he created for his TV show, the film stars Cohen as a cluelessly offensive Central Asian TV journalist named Borat Sagdiyev who has a thick mustache, wild-eyed grin and boisterous catch phrases like "sexy time!"
Chronicling Borat's exploits on a cross-country U.S. road trip, the movie is driven by Cohen's improvised, unrehearsed encounters with ordinary people who become his unsuspecting comic foils.
Asked whether he had seen the movie, Murdoch said, "Sure, about three times. ... We laughed like hell. We went out to dinner and laughed all over again."

hilarious isn't he :ermm:

I'm on the fence about this...I thought Borat The Movie was a little watered down from the segment on the Ali G Show. I don't know if it was the censors or what, but I felt he kinda held back a little or they just cut the really crazy shit. Not to say that a 2 minute nude wrestling scene with a 300 pound man isn't "crazy shit". I just think a full season of Borat shows on HBO would be much more entertaining.
Of course HBO would never be able to pay SBC as much as a movie would make him, but artisticly I think it would be better.
With that being said, I think I might welcome another movie...so forget what I said.

It seems more like the camera clicks and the camera man's voice were just added in.. Sacha doesn't even respond at all... And the clicks sound REALLY fake.
The voice also seems to be in too good of quality compared to the rest of the audio.. Like it was recorded in a studio and added into the footage...
